Family, fashion, fiascos—this is how to be fabulous. 💃🏼


Busy mum. Fashion guru. Domestic disaster waiting to happen?


When Annie Valentine agrees to help her best friend Svetlana pull off a charity fashion show, she thinks it’ll be a breeze. After all, no one knows couture quite like Annie, so how hard can it be?


Answer: very. With no venue, no clothes, and definitely no showstopper, Annie’s in danger of her first ever fashion fail.

And just when the wardrobe rails are about to collapse, her family life does too. Daughter Lauren is home from New York with a broken heart, son Owen is off to university with an empty wallet, and Annie is hanging on by a thread.


But when a mystery donation arrives to save the day—and Annie—it feels like she might just pull it all together. That is, until Owen goes AWOL and everything unravels.
